If I am not mistaken then an Infantry (6/10/1) in a fortress, regardless of terrain, is never attacked by anything below tanks. It's a bit like with armies, maybe not as mobile, but cheaper.
You don't need a unit with ZOC because the fort itself got ZOC.Virtual Alex said:I use tons of them. I put them on hill and mountains with units that have a ZOC attack like Cav, and Arty. They autoattack units that walk buy, even if they are not attacked.
Up to 3 in damage? So the forts works differently in some game versions.Virtual Alex said:the AI units will take 1-3 damage just GETTING to a city.
Virtual Alex said:The funniest thing about forts, is how they go from giant castles with moats, to sandbags and barbedwire in the modern age. Haha cracks me up.
Virtual Alex said:Well, they get no bonus for attacking from a fort, either do you.
But they do get all the same defensive bonuses. The difference is, if a fort is in your culture, they cannot pass through it with fast units. At acts as a blocker. So a tank with 3 move, will move once into a fort and wont be able to move again until next turn. he does however get the defense bonus.
